Question

State Henry’s law and mention two of its important applications.
The relationship between pressure and solubility is guided by Henry’s law. According to this law, “The mass of a gas dissolved in given volume of the liquid at a constant temperature depends upon the pressure which is applied.” It can also be stated as the partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase (p) is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas (χ) in the solution.
where = Henry’s constant.

Applications of Henry’s Law :
(i) To increase the solubility of CO2 in soda water and soft drinks, the bottle is sealed under high pressure.
(ii) At high altitude, low blood oxygen causes climber to become weak and make them unable to think clearly, which are symptoms of a condition known as anoxia.
